There has been a really positive start to our new enrichment programme with well over 80% of students taking part in at least one of the varied activities on offer. There is everything from Chinese to sports, film club to Minecraft, drama to pottery and singing to dressmaking. All the activities are being run by either MVC staff or specialist external providers. “Running activities after school means we can offer higher quality activities of a better length rather than it all being squashed in to lunch”, said Principal Simon Holmes. “Our long term vision is that every student will be taking part in some form of enrichment every single day.”
